A tribute will be held Tuesday for two softball players who died on the same day in Syracuse.

Nibsy’s softball team will remember the two men when it resumes its schedule Tuesday with a 6:15 p.m. game at Burnet Park against the Lumberjacks in the Syracuse city league.

Last Tuesday, a few hours after long-time team captain Bill Skvarch died from complications caused by a massive stroke, outfielder Joe O’Leary collapsed and died of a heart attack during a game, shortly after hitting a triple and scoring a run. Mike Donohue, a catcher for Nibsy’s who was close to both men, said he anticipates many spectators will be there today.

“We want to get a big crowd down here in honor of these two guys, and then afterwards get everyone to go over to Nibsy’s (a tavern on Ulster Street) and raise one in their honor,” Donohue said.
